Hello,

I am facing an issue where the auto test cannot click any object within an iframe.

I tried using the spy object tool and the recording tool and both were unable to find and click any object within the iframe. I tried switching between the XPath and the Attributes, tried copying the xpath directly, still not working.

Thank you 🙂

I tried to find an answer on previous topics, but sadly none of the solutions helped.

Show me some HTML incorporating the `iframe` element and the element within you are trying to target.

First switch to iframe  
`WebUI.switchToFrame(findTestObject('path/to/iframe/object'), 5)`  
do what you need to do  
`WebUI.click(findTestObject('path/to/click/object'))`  
and switch to back to default content  
`WebUI.switchToDefaultContent()`

or tell you click object where its parent iframe is.
